Scrap Challenge


 Hi All!!!!

I am here sharing my creation for this month Scrap Challenge. I made a Pocket page for my sister with photos of her little guy Auggie, not that he is so little anymore.

On these pages I used two different stamps sets - I used the dog with the bone from A Furry Surprise and the sentiment and the paw print from Totally Paw-some!!!


 In the full pocket page picture below you will notice on one of the center cards I used the paw print as an accent to an existing card. I love that you can use these sets and others like them to accent something finished already to make the cards fit better to what you need.



For this challenge you can create ANYthing your little heart desires as long as it's NOT a card!!!
Calendars, bookmarks, pocket pages, traditional scrap pages, holiday gifties, planner pages... you get the picture! Come play along with us each month and let's get some of those photo's out of boxes and on to something creative and fun!! You will have a whole month to play along and you can play as many times as you like! Here are a few things to remember...
THIS MONTH'S THEME: ANYTHING GOES!!!

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)
3. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.
4. You have a month to play, enter AS MANY TIMES as you'd like!
5. PRIZES?!? Of course there are prizes!! Once we've reached 5 entries, we draw a random winner (winner will be drawn at the close of the challenge)!!
6. You have until Monday, July 18th @ 11:59 pm Eastern to get your entries in.

 Did you think we were done with the beach theme??? No way!! Today we are sharing previews featuring a set that FLOCKS of you are going to love! We're so excited to share the new set of fun images by artist Emilie Goulet called FANCY FLAMINGOS!!

The 4x4 clear stamp set features two sassy feathered friends PLUS six accessory stamps PLUS five awesome coordinating sentiments!!! So there's a total of THIRTEEN stamps in this 4x4 clear set! They're such fun!
I wanted to do a more CAS card for this post and since I really LOVED all the little accessory stamps I used those plus one of sentiments to create a custom background on my Kraft card base!!!

I matted the white piece in black and used the same sentiment on it. I then also used enamel dots from My Minds Eye - separately I stamped one of the cute flamingos - colored it in then fussy cut it out. This image was then pop dotted onto the card!

Yesterday was only day one and I bet you are already excited - I know I am!!! Today is another awesome set - Sandy Toes!!! I used the girl holding the towel (which I paper pieced). The paper I used is by Fancy Pants called Summer Sun, I also added some twine, and sequins. The background is created using several blue hues of the distress inks by Tim Holtz.

June Peek Day 1 - You're Sun-sational!



Welcome Krafty Friends to Day ONE of our June Krafty Previews!!!

Woohoo!!! It's time for the June Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! I hope you're ready for a week full of AMAZING creations because that's what's in store for you!!! We have SIX full days of Krafty Previews so hold on to your ink pads, ladies! Just wait 'til you seeeeeee!


Today we are sharing a sweet summer set by artist, Cheryl Grant! It features our fave kiddos Lulu, Lexi and Lucas and they're having a ball at the beach!!!

The set is called YOU'RE SUN-SATIONAL! There are three main beachy images plus FIVE coordinating sentiments!


Isn't Lulu just fabby surfin' that wave!!!! It has always been something I have wanted to learn how to do but in all honesty would probably suck at it because I have ZERO balance!!! I am not kidding when I say that either - I always trip walking or going up the stairs. Walking disaster here people! LOL

So on my card I  used Lulu and some awesome paper by Bo Bunny called Key Lime - it's an older line but I think it fit the card perfectly! I also used some twine (one of my go to embellishments) and a super cute surfboard button! I also decorated the inside of the card using Lulu again but this time stamped just in black with one of the sentiments from the set.

You'll see today's set featured by our amazing Krafty Girl Design Team in today's blog hop!
